Rare, Original Ericofon, supplied with our own peace of mind 1-year guarantee, just plug in and go!Own a Classic Piece of Mid-Century Design
(the phone you will receive is the one shown in the photos above)
This beautifully restored, original Ericsson
Ericofon is in
excellent working condition and fully wired for use. It features a
sleek, single-piece light brown body, a timeless and elegant colour that enhances its vintage appeal. The telephone is in
near-mint condition, giving it the appearance of being almost new. It has only one small flaw - the perspex dial surround is cracked around one of the four screws, as you will see in the photo of the underside of the telephone, however this has been stable for a long time and is not considered to have compromised the robustness of the phone. It is supplied with a
mechanical bell ringer for an authentic mid-century experience.
Designed by Ralph Lysell and Hugo Blomberg, the Ericofon was a groundbreaking innovation when production began in
1957. It was
the first-ever one-piece telephone, featuring a
rotary dial uniquely placed on the underside. This ergonomic design made it incredibly easy to use and quickly established it as a sought-after designer item in stylish homes and offices.
With its
distinctive cobra-like shape, the Ericofon became a true
design icon of the 20th century. Its space-saving form and futuristic aesthetic made it a favorite among modern interiors, and today,
Ericofons are becoming increasingly rare, making them highly collectible.
This telephone is not only a
stylish piece of history but also a
fully functional one. It has been restored and adapted to work in virtually every country, and in many cases—if you let us know beforehand—we can ensure it is delivered with the correct plug for your telephone network. The standard plug we fit is for the UK BT telephone network.
It is supplied with a

two-way adapter, so that the ringer and telephone can be plugged into the same socket.
